A king hires an artist to paint a portrait...

In the Middle Ages, a king commissions a portrait of his likeness to be made.

He hires the most respected artist in the castle, known far and wide for his realistic paintings.

When the artist arrives, he politely asks the king to sit as still as possible for the portrait.

After weeks of sessions with the king, the artist sets down his brush and stares blankly at his completed work.

"Well, how does it look?" asks the king.

The artist hangs his head in shame and replies "your highness...you blinked".
